    Thanks to everyone thats contributed and made suggestions towards the Personal Development Reports idea that I’m taking along to the Social Innovation Camp this weekend in the hope that some people there will help to make the idea a reality.

    In between work stuff I’ve been trying to pull thoughts together so that I can go along with a nice clear brief. Unfortunately somehow losing most of the work I’d managed today I need to start all over so in between frustration and brain overload I’ve just wasted a bit of time redoing the soft skills drawn up so far – this time though I’ve redone them as ‘negative soft skills’ – just for fun so don’t worry that we’ll be incorporating these into the system (although it is a little tempting!). Heres the list….

    Communication Team Working Organisational Leadership
    ignoring
    shouting
    Talking over others
    Not replying to emails
    using ‘text talk’ that nobody understands
    Using ’street language’ that nobody understands
    Only giving an opinion when you can be ‘bothered’    		 Making yourself look good at the expense of others
    Being critical
    Humiliating others
    Bragging
    Sod the others I’ll do it myself
    Everyone else is crap    		 Why bother I’ll wait until I’m told!
    Turning up if I feel like it    		 Bullying
    Making sure everyone does it my way
    Look just do it or do one!
    Willingness to Learn Attitude Concern for Others Responsibility
    I know it all already
    Other people are generally stupid
    I don’t need to learn – whats the point?!    		 Its a waste of time
    Rude
    Big Headed
    Stubborn
    I hate ‘outsiders’
    I can’t be bothered – you do it!
    Its not my job    		 Thats their problem It wasn’t me!

    Feel free to suggest your own!

    Right back to redoing that work!………
